A flaw was found in coreDNS. This flaw allows a malicious user to redirect traffic intended for external top-level domains (TLD) to a pod they control by creating projects and namespaces that match the TLD.

Attackers might be able to spoof the intended endpoint from a different system or process, thus gaining the same level of access as the intended endpoint. While this issue frequently involves authentication between network-based clients and servers, other types of communication channels and endpoints can have this weakness.
